9 Lip Smacking Food In Chennai Dedicated To Our Tri Colored Flag

70 years ago, Indians got their first taste of independence. It’s important to honour the struggle and the hardships faced by our ancestors at the hands of a foreign power. Indian food has always been every Indian’s favourite. From the breadth and length of the country, every state has its own unique cuisine.

We dedicate this collection to the Indian Flag, the colours that epitomize everything Indian stands for: Saffron for its bravery and courage; White for the peace and purity; Green for the growth, fertility and auspiciousness.

Here’s a list of some lip smacking indigenous foods that Chennai has to offer:

The Orange

Lucknowi Murg Khorma

The Lucknowi Murg Khorma at Bombay Brasserie is delectable curry made with tender chicken pieces and is cooked in the dum style. The smoky orange gravy goes best with some delicious tandoori roti or a steaming hot plate of jeera rice.

An example of food transcending all borders. Zaitoon whips up some delicious Chicken Lahori at is made with some delicious tender pieces of boneless chicken all simmered and cooked in a super delicious onion and tomato gravy. Even though Lahore wasn’t a part of India, they did leave this deliciousness for us to enjoy. Enjoy this yummy orange gravy with a hot nan.

The Mirapakkai Kodi at Maplai is a zesty chicken dish that comes to us from the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. This delicious chicken dish packs quite a spiced up punch. Enjoy it with a Jil Jil Jigarthanda, you will need it to balance out the spice quotient.

The Chicken Coriander Soup at Tangerine is a delicious white broth soup made with some tender chicken and loads of rustic coriander flavour to boot. Enjoy this soup as a pre meal course, building up an appetite to enjoy the delicious sizzlers that Tangerine has to offer.

The Salt serves Bharwan Anjeer Paneer Tikka which is made of soft triangles of white paneer that are stuffed with a yummy filling of chutneys making it super delectable. Enjoy this starter with a cold Melon Berry before you place the big order for the main course.

Tumkur Thattu Idli is served at Prem’s Gramma Bhojanam or PGB. This huge roundel of soft soft idli is actually made with millets and not white rice. Served with a bevy of chutneys, you will be left spoiled for choice with all the millet based foods PGB has on offer. No guilt of binging here.

Cleo’s Grill and Café serves up some great grills. Their Pathrani Bhasa is a Bengali delicacy where you will find a fillet of soft flaky basa slathered with some yummy green mustard chutney and steamed in a banana leaf. Enjoy this delicious fish with some delicious drink that Cleo’s has on offer. Read more about this Parsi delicacy here.

Spoonbill is one example of good food transcending all barriers. It has offers food from all over the world. But today we focus on the demure green Hara Bhara Kabab made with a mince of veggies and deep or shallow fried. Served on a flatbread with some salad and chutney to complete it all.

Meena Tai’s has been a pioneer in bringing the taste of Maharashtrian cuisine to Chennai. Their Kothmir Vada is made with lots of coriander, gram flour and garlic. This concoction is then steamed to lock in all the flavours. Once steamed, it then shallow fried on tawa, making it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

So here is our take on the foods you can enjoy on our 70th Independence Day. Since independence, regional politics and rivalry has been very high. Even today, with all the advents and leaps India has made, we still don’t feel the same brotherhood for Indians who live outside of our regions.

Transcending borders, overtaking barriers; good food reaches every heart and every stomach making the person smile. Let us take a lesson from food today, we need to be the instrument of good taste and good food spreading smiles and happiness around.
